It seems to me the level of unChristian incivility being directed towards Dr Liddle on the rise, particularly since the likes of champignon and DrREC are no there to split the IDiots fire. I wonder how long can it be before Brave Sir Bully Arrington finds finds himself unable to resist the urge to wield the bannination hammer again.

Bullwinkle says he is hopelessly befuddled as to the difference between the obscenity directed at me and the phrase “sad and pathetic.” In light of that I decided he would be happier not commenting on this site. Anyone else want to push me today?

Bullwinkle asked for a moderation principle vis civility that allows "mentally ill, or perhaps a drug addict," certainly as personal as "arrogant prick," to pass without comment. The result?

Drizzle drazzle druzzle drone, time for this one to come home.

Apparently, some onlookers such as myself have been banned as well since Friday.

eta: well, okay, maybe i said something or two.

Its what you both did and didn't say that counts.

Yes. I missed the meltdown by being away over the weekend. But I've been informed that Prof. FX Gumby has also been silently banned. He wasn't a very active or effective commenter, but couldn't resist going after Barry on his outing of Dr REC.

I guess you can add MaxEntropy to the list. His last comments were awaiting moderation whilst those that got through were quickly sent to UD's gas chamber before being bulldozed in the mass grave of lost comments ...

I also accept the findings of physics which make the concept of physical existence rather complicated. That just means that physical is not the same as the ideal, just as a physical circle is not an ideal circle.

I thought this was something generally agreed upon. I thought it was the foundation of Plato’s thought.

But to answer the specific question, in formal logic, the moon cannot both exist and not exist.

"Bydand" was a little acerbic about the current raised level of hypocrisy at The Tardpit, suggesting that if they felt that tedious and stupid materialists ought to be banned, they might, in equity, look to banning those of the Home Team who were at least as tedious and stupid.

"Bydand" thus joins the Glorious Fallen, or Legion of the Silently Banned.

I really like Dr. Liddle. I may have mistaken her stubborn insistence on sticking to her guns (in the face of what I perceive as overwhelming and irrefutable arguments to the contrary) as intellectual dishonesty, and if I did I apologize. Dr. Liddle, I hope you continue to post here. As frustrating as you can be, this would be a boring site if we did not have someone from the other side to joust with. And it is fun to joust with you.
